The Cathedral of St. Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Galle. Constructed in the late 1900s, St. Mary’s architecture has roots in Victorian and Neoclassical styles. Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the church is characterized by stained window glasses, ornate interiors, and a peaceful environment.
The church is a landmark of Galle and is of great importance to the local community. The seat of the Bishop of Galle since 1874, it serves nearly 400 Christian families belonging to this parish. It was originally established by the Society of Jesus and the first Bishop was the Belgian Jesuit Joseph Van Reeth.
